When Wario first enter the top of the tree where Anonster is, it hangs and move around by a thread. While moving around the ceiling, Anonster spews a clump of web that slowly floats down until it becomes a ball of web on the ground. If Wario touches the web while it is floating, [[Ball o' String Wario]] is triggered and he will uncontrollably roll out of the top of the tree. If the ball of web is on the ground, Wario can grab it to throw it at Anonster, and as long as a ball of web exists in the arena or Wario is holding one, Anonster won't spew clumps of webs. If the ball of web hits Anonster, it will be stunned. It will then jump to the floor in its attempt to pounce on Wario, and then crawl along the floor while spewing webs that can trigger Ball o' String Wario. If the web hits Wario or it spat webs twice on the ground, it will jump up and Wario must throw a ball of web to bring it down again. While Anonster is on the ground, Wario must use a [[Ground Pound|Smash Attack]] on the circular pattern on its back, damaging it. In its second and third phases, it spits out two and three clumps of webs respectively while it is hanging near the ceiling, in addition to being faster. After the third Smash Attack on its back, Anonster will be defeated and three web platforms will descend, allowing Wario to reach the Blue Chest, containing the last of the five [[Music Box|music boxes]].

Anonster,[1] also known as the Spider Boss,[2] is a boss in Wario Land 3. Anonster is a colossal spider with three eyes and a circular pattern mark on its back. Its eyes turn red every time it spews webs from its mouth. Anonster is located in a giant tree in Out of the Woods, where Anonster hangs and moves around by a thread on the ceiling. While doing so, Anonster spews a clump of web that slowly floats down until it becomes a ball of web, which turns Wario into Ball o' String Wario if he touches the ball while it is floating, and he will roll out of the top of the tree. Anonster does not spit clumps of webs while there is a ball of web, which Wario can pick up if it is on the ground and stun Anonster by throwing the ball at it. After this, Anonster jumps to the floor and tries pouncing on Wario, and then crawl along the floor while spewing webs also capable of triggering Ball o' String Wario. If the web hits Wario or it spat webs twice on the ground, Anonster will jump up, but can be brought down by if a ball of web is thrown at it. Anonster can be properly damaged from Wario's Smash Attack on the circular pattern on its back if Anonster is on the ground, also changing the color of its pattern. Anonster spits out two and three clumps of webs in the second and third phases respectively while hanging near the ceiling, in addition to being faster. Anonster will be defeated after a third Smash Attack, and three web platforms will descend, allowing Wario to reach the Blue Chest with the last music box.
